✦ Synopsis


A method is described for analyzing the radioactivity of 3H-labeled RNA after separation by gel electrophoresis. The gels were soaked in 10% acetic acid and were sliced. The gel slices were dehydrated in alcohol, then saturated with toluene, and finally permeated with a toluene-based scintillation fluid containing butyl-PBD. The radioactivity of RNA was then analyzed in sitrr in the gel slices using a liquid scintillator. The counting efficiency of this technique is high, about 58%. This is even slightly better than the counting efficiency attained after solubilization of the RNA in Soluene 350 (about 55%). With the same fluor, Permablend III. the counting efficiencies of the two techniques are alike.

We describe a method for the detection of isoforms of several glycolytic enzymes by activity staining after native PAGE. The staining is based on coupled enzyme assays carried out on the gel after electrophoresis and is linked to the disappearance of NADH, which is visualized by fluorescence. This m
